I don't know.
- What the of rack is this?
- Why is it closed?
- Are there security concerns?
- Is the server the only device in the rack?
More context is better than less...
See: What to look for in a server rack?
Don't be this guy: Server won't physically fit in rack: which technical problems will I face in future if I force the mount?
I tell people that modern HP servers are incredibly efficient and can run in a variety of conditions. The thermal and cooling control available in a DL380p Gen8 server is quite comprehensive. If you just have one, you can toss it on a shelf at normal room temperate and be fine. I wouldn't go to extremes to accommodate the server.
